Great Value for the Money. The reel which includes a bait runner feature is well worth the money. The line which comes with it is not the best but that can always be discarded, it also comes with a spare spool, a real bargain. The rod is sturdy enough and will deal with the biggest of Pike. The only drawback with this type of equipment is for long casting, however it is advertised as a stalking rod and that is what it is,

Perfect short rod for float fishing for carp. It handles decent sized fish with ease. It’s well made and light. I have much more expensive rods but this one is just as good. Only long term use will tell if it’s robust but so far I love it and use it exclusively at my local carp fishery.

You won’t find a better rod for this money. It has a lovely action, soft enough & delicate enough in the tip to set a size 16 hook with a 2BB float, yet a strong enough backbone to bully hard fighting carp out of lilies and reeds. It casts surprisingly well for such a small rod, an under arm flick will give you a distance of approximately 12 feet, a full on overhead swing will double it… which is not bad for the above mentioned rig. There is however one problem and the reason it loses one star… the reel seat is shocking, it’s the rods only let down. I coupled the rod with a shimano bait runner ST4000FB with 10lb line and they compliment each other perfectly, but whilst battling harder fighting carp, that where lunging back and forth in and out of Lillie pads, the reel seat felt very lose, which had me reaching for the screw ring trying to tighten the reel down. Feeling like you’re reel is about to fall off in the midst of battle is not very confidence inspiring. However, the rod is built to a price that’s exceptionally affordable and that affordability comes at a compromise. I will in all likelihood customise it with a nice cork handle and a fuji reel seat at some point and give that blank the love it truly deserves. The first time I used it I caught twenty carp in four hours, from 2lb to low doubles, fishing from directly under the rod tip in the margin out to twenty plus feet, using a size 16 hook with a slightly overweight 2BB float (lift method), set at various depths throughout the session. Sweet corn was my bait of choice over chicken feed pellets. At this price, this stalker is too good to ignore and is definitely worth every penny. You could and probably already have spent twice as much on tackle that’s half as good quality. An excellent addition to any anglers arsenal, whether your a beginner or seasoned angler, you won’t be disappointed.Read full review
